This exploration will dissect the critical parts of effective counter radicalization models of various nations, and recommend approaches to join those in Bangladesh to build up an intelligible enemy of radicalization methodology. At first, this writing survey will examine the idea of radicalization through the internet. It will permit the perusers to follow the ensuing investigation and the proposals to build up a component in Bangladesh to counter this threat. The writing audit is partitioned into three areas: understanding on the web radicalization, online radicalization from a Bangladeshi viewpoint, and huge parts of fruitful worldwide enemy of radicalization programs. Understanding on the web radicalization will analyze the potential intensity of the web to impact individuals and the procedure of radicalization. The segment on online radicalization from a Bangladeshi point of view will from the outset, quickly survey the important dangers in Bangladesh and will at that point, recognize and assess the current projects of countering on the web radicalization. The last segment will contemplate the systems received by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), The U.S. National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), and the present projects embraced by Malaysia and Indonesia. These two nations of Southeast Asia have been chosen because of strict and social likenesses, and geographic closeness. Their projects seem, by all accounts, to be successful aga inst online radicalization. Understanding Online Radicalization The web seems to make more chances to become radicalized. Numerous academic articles credit a job to the web in advancing radicalization[1]. Those examinations propose that the web goes about as a quickening agent, and has broken the conventional boundaries to radicalize individuals[2]. In such manner, Gabriel Weimanns Terror on the Internet: The New Arena, The New Challenges checks the quantity of sites of fear monger gatherings and surveys their contents[3]. In his article, Weimann focuses to the multiplication of radicals sites. He establishes, before the finish of 1999, practically all psychological oppressor bunches set up their online nearness. Distinctive experimental examinations propose, there is a relationship between's fanatics sites and online publicity, and fast radicalization. The web empowers the fear based oppressors to contact in any case inaccessible people. The span of the web has obscured the geographic boundaries, and associated the removed people in the virtual world. Subside Neumann in his examination focuses that the web permits the psychological oppressors to contact those people who might not have been open in some other way[4]. For instance, Anwar al-Awlaki[5] effectively made online substance, for example, Inspire that advocates jihad from home. Ines von Behr declares, these sort of online materials have expand the degree to contact any individuals, and their engaging substance make increasingly opportunity to embed radical thoughts among the individuals[6]. The web makes chances to radicalize a more extensive scope of individuals from all social orders. Rachel and Strugnell recognize, alongside evacuating the geographic boundary, the web has deleted the social and sexual orientation obstructions too to spread radical philosophies. They feature on the web made extension to reach and radicalize the women[7]. In numerous social orders, it might be hard for ladies to meet actually with male radicals or work with them; it might likewise be hard for the ladies to communicate certain contemplations out in the open. Notwithstanding, the web permits them more prominent anonymity[8]. A few creators opine, the web benefits the thoughtful person people who are looking for the extreme thoughts by making an extension to get to any substance privately[9]. Jerome Bjelopera says,ã‚â the attributes of the web permits a relative bit of leeway to the fear mongers in the current days than their past ages by blurring the lines between nations, social or ders, and genders[10]. The web gives guessed secrecy and a level of assurance and security from detection[11]. The web quickens the procedure of radicalization. Bjelopera terms the web as a reverberation chamber[12]. That is to say, individuals who are looking through any extreme plans to help their crude musings are probably going to make some fortify substance on the web because of its huge stockpiling. The web is a sort of one-stop look for all the data that an individual may try to underline his extreme thoughts that speeds up his radicalization procedure. The virtual world diminishes the time period of radicalization process instead of the real world. Anthony Bergin in his investigation alludes the web as a transport line that quickens the radicalization procedure by giving momentary and consistent association with any savage idea[13]. Raffaello Pantucci further features the online worlds job in brooding and quickening radicalization[14]. Robert Schmidle focuses that, the visit rooms specifically are compelling for the fanatics since they can trade thoughts with similarly invested people every minute of every day paying little heed to borders[15]. In this way, the web assists the radicalization procedure of any person by offering assortments of substance and persistent cooperation. The web permits radicalization to happen without physical contact. Yeap and Park clarify, the web empowers any person to get to radical substance from their own space as opposed to going to an extreme strict gathering[16]. In this way, an individual need just the web association, physical heading out to other area is not any more fundamental. Despite the fact that the web decreases obstacles to collaboration, barely any researchers may contend that human cooperation is important for radicalization. Be that as it may, Behr says, in an advanced period the online exercises might be considered as an expansion of the genuine lives, and physical association is no more essential[17]. Adjacent to the real world, individual relationship may develop in the virtual world also. Accordingly, Mitchell Silber and Arvin Bhatt declares, radicalization on the web isn't really any extraordinary to what might occur with other increasingly private and less noticeable sources[18]. Additionally, the web ex pands open doors for self-radicalization. It is where an individual bit by bit become radicalized without anyone else [19]. Thus, the web makes chances of radicalization without human communication. An individual travel through a few stages as he gets radicalized through the internet. In a New York Police Department radicalization contextual investigation, Silber and Bhatt recognize four periods of radicalization: pre-radicalization, self-distinguishing proof, inculcation and jihadization[20]. The contextual investigation perceives the effect of the web on the radicalization procedure as an individual searching for a character and a cause[21]. The web encourages in every one of the phases to train, mingle, instill and recruit[22]. The FBI has likewise made a radicalization model like that of the NYPD. The FBI model has four phases: pre-radicalization, recognizable proof, inculcation and action[23]. These classes are practically like NYPD. The graph underneath represents the Moghaddams flight of stairs to radicalization where the online substance assume a reciprocal job: Moghaddam Staircase to Radicalization Source: Moghaddam, Fathali M. The Staircase to Terrorism, A Psychological Exploration, Vol. 60, No. 2, American Psychologist, 2005. Online Radicalization in Bangladeshi Perspective Fear mongers Approach and their Target Audience In Bangladesh, not many religion based fear based oppressor associations have picked up capacities to create and spread their extreme messages on the web. They have pulled out in the open and media consideration through their exercises and engendering. Furthermore, scarcely any radical political gatherings are additionally attempting to build up their online capacities. At present 13 psychological oppressor associations are working effectively and 29 others are working secretively utilizing counterfeit credentials[24]. The Special Branch of Bangladesh Police has given the names of eight fear based oppressor associations to Home Ministry who are dynamic on the web: Ansarullah Bangla Team, Allahr Dal, Islamic Solidarity Front, Tamiruddin Bangladesh, Tawhidee Trust, Hizbut-Tawhid, Shahdat-e-Nabuwat and Jamat-as-Sadat. Five of these fear based oppressor associations have just been restricted by the legislature, and eight more are yet to be banned[25]. These gatherings may have critical v enture, both human and money related, to construct their online limits. The psychological militant gatherings of Bangladesh give off an impression of being dynamic on the web, especially in Facebook and YouTube, to spread radical lecturing. This is more secure, and lower plausibility of being followed by the law implementing offices. Farooq opines, the online purposeful publicity of the fear based oppressors in Bangladesh have gotten increasingly composed, and engaging their targets[26]. Arman claims that the psychological militants attempt to misuse the ethno-strict notion of the individuals while building up their messages, and request to their accepts to implant their radical ideas[27]. In the course of the most recent couple of years, detest addresses and vicious belief systems that spread through the web set off various fear monger assaults and mutual savagery in Bangladesh. This was apparent in Ramu and Pabna episodes where mass assaults were completed on strict minority individuals. In the two cases, unidentified people utilizing nom de plumes doc tored photographs and messages on the Facebook slandering Islam that disturbed people[28]. Online networking have become the most effortless intends to spread radical thoughts in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi adolescents are especially powerless against online radicalization because of absence of digital mindfulness. Farooq in his examination opines, the fear based oppressors appear to focus on the informed young people by spreading engaging m
